Note: You can only install the CPU inside the socket in one direction with the handle at the
top. Make sure that it is properly inserted into the CPU socket before closing the Rail Frame
plate. If it doesn't close properly, do not force it as it may damage your CPU. Instead, open
the Rail Frame plate again, and double-check that the CPU is aligned properly.

Cover Cap from the CPU socket below. Grip the two lift tabs marked "Remove" at the
middle of the cap and pull vertically upwards to remove the PnP Cover Cap.
Caution: The exposed socket contacts are extremely vulnerable and can be damaged easily.
Do not touch or drop objects onto the contacts and be careful removing the PnP Cover Cap
and when placing the Rail Frame over the socket.

engage with the Socket housing. and it rests in place. Do not force it into place!

seated in the Socket housing. Note that the Force Frame is spring loaded and has to be
held in place before it is secured.
